Description

The New LX850™ with StarLock™ is aportable astro-imaging system that can be setup, aligned and imaging in less than thirty minutes. Building on the foundation of the technologically revolutionary LX800, Meade engineers have taken the next step in astrophotographic evolution. We kept the same innovative concepts like Starlock™ fulltime automatic guiding and high-precision pointing, f/8 ACF OTAs with internal Crayford-style two-speed focuser and a portable precision German equatorial mount, but reengineered it to deliver more performance with less user effort.

New Features:

NEW polished bronze worms in both RA and DEC drivers that deliver smooth motion with low periodic error.

NEW larger roller bearings in both RA and DEC axes to better handle larger loads.

NEW roller bearings in the RA and DEC clutch assemblies to allow freer motion with the clutches loosened for easier balancing.
